10 Struggles the Technologically Challenged Can Relate to

Leaving in a high-tech world with low-tech experience is rough.

10 Struggles the Technologically Challenged Can Relate to

"Old school". "Old Soul". I've heard it all. I'm more of a pen and paper kind of girl and I swear, technology is out to get me. Doesn't matter if it's my iPhone, television, laptop, updates and I are oil and water.

1. Update? Again? Didn't we update yesterday?

2. *Typing midterm paper due at midnight and computer randomly decides to update on it's own*

3. 99% of the time I don't understand the new update. Just when I started to get a grip, I get thrown into the abyss of the latest iOS.

4. *Has Geek Squad on speed dial*

5. *Tries the puppy dog eyes, the pretty please with the cherry on top, and all the stops to get tech support from the squad*

"Seriously? You haven't figured it out yet?"

6. All these lovers finding each other on Tinder, match.com, e Harmony, and I have a hard enough time maintaining a decent Facebook profile picture.

7. I don't know how to avoid those random friend requests with no mutual friends.

8. I prefer real life awkward conversation over sliding into the dm's any day.

9. I want the book in my hands. E-books give me headaches.

10. Waiting for updates to finish...

Don't get me wrong. Technology has its benefits and is extremely useful. But for the technologically challenged (me), more often than not, it's a pain.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
